L'elisir d'amore -  (The Elixir of Love)

Paris

France

Opéra Bastille

A simple but effective plot (a shy and naive young peasant buys a charlatan a love potion, actually a simple bottle of wine, to conquer the girl he is in love with; the beauty will finally realize that he loves the young man without the help of the elixir), a joyous musical language with bright and particularly inspired melodies (including the famous "Una furtiva lagrima"), made this opera composed in 15 days by Donizetti a true masterpiece.

Transposing the action into Italy in the 1950s, director Laurent Pelly achieves a true gem, finely chiseled and highly poetic.

L'elisir d'amore by G. Donizetti, from Paris Opera, 2006. Directed by Laurent Pelly, conductor Edward Gardner, starring Laurent Naouri, Ambrogio Maestri, Paul Groves, Heidi Grant Murphy and Aleksandra Zamojska. Performed in Italian.
